title: Is the prevalence of severe stenoses of left circumflex different from that of the right coronary artery?
abstract: We reviewed the last 911 coronary arteriograms performed in our laboratory because of chest pain. Among 215 patients with single-vessel disease, 40 had stenosis in the right coronary artery and 43 in the left circumflex. This finding conflicts with previous reports. Perhaps racial differences could explain this discrepancy.
